My cartoon from today’s Church Times, ‘The Pulpit‘ is now available on their website. I have to say it is one I am quite pleased with. Thanks must go to Maddie_C who gave me some good ideas for it. This one will be in the book, to be released at the end of August. It will appear on this website too at some future point.
Sorry not to post anything more thrilling this morning. I have another full day of computer cartoon-editing ahead of me.

Perfect 
Made me laugh!
My experience however that there is some sort of dodgy microphone a light that’s too bright and a glass of water that you are unsure as to when it was last used/re-filled!
You also sometimes find discarded sermon notes containing cryptic lines like “use the Archbishop and the aeroplane joke!”
I need some filler for my sermon thios week. Please someone tell me the Archbishop and the aeroplane joke….
That’s a good pulpit… and if we had one like that I might be inclined to use it! I thought a ‘pew ejector seat’ might be a useful addition, though I’m sure your ‘electric shock’ would work just as well 
I’d probably swap the sudoku for a crossword… rubbish with numbers!
My friend Dave is a local preacher and he had these thoughts:
Unfortunately none of the ones I’ve ever used have ever had this level of control…
And where is the congregation manipulation area (congregation stand, congregation sit, congregation shut eyes, open eyes, congregation shuffle awkwardly and look at the floor, congregation “spontaneously”
raise hands in the air and shout responses such as “halleluia”, “amen”, “rubbish”….
When my church at home (methodist) joined with the URC, and refurbed their building, lots of “sentimental” stuff was retained from the other building, which ws sold to fund the refurb. This included a smallish hexaganol pulpit (the existing one in the building was of the variety “at least half way up to heaven”, and big enough to conduct the entirity of Romeo and Juliet, not just the balcony scene).
Anyway, it was decided to place this pulpit on industrial castors, so it could be conveniently moved about if different furniture arrangements were wanted in church. Anyway, this has, on occasion, led to a massive temptation to sling a rope round the bottom of the thing, and remove pulpit and preacher during the service, and replace with something better (like a well trained goat, for instance)…
Well, that’s my pulpit-related story done!

I particularly enjoyed the cartoon in last week’s CT, went to show my mum on tinternet today but forgot it is Friday, thus it has gone. Keep up the good work Dave!
YES! That’s the pulpit I want! So long as I can swap the Soduko for a crossword…
Our Vicar discided she wanted one so the congrigation/choir want to have some feed back too. we thought that a touch screen telly set in the back of the pew/chair in front, with a score card for the sermon, a “you have missed something button”, a choir LOUD BUTTON
and a connection to sky sport/film so we don’t miss anything or get bored.
